Caretakers of the Environment International
A Global Network of Secondary School Teachers and Students
Active in Environmental Education
List of Conferences
Every year CEI organizes an international conference on environmental education for secondary schools. The national CEI branch in charge of the conference selects the conference theme, solicits the financial support for the conference and for the participants with financial hardship, and puts together the program in accordance with the philosophy of CEI. Hence, the program puts emphasis on hands-on activities and firsthand experiences that can be taken back to the classroom. Participants are selected on their past and current achievements in environmental education (EE). Each participating school is asked to exhibit their most recent EE-project at the conference.
